UNITED STATES WILLIAM F. BASH, OF CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OHIO.-

RADIATOR HANGER.

Application filed November 17, 1924. Serial No. 750,449. 7

To all whom it may concern: v

Be it known that I, WILLIAM F. BAoH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland Heights, in the county of Cuyahoga and State ofOhio have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Radiator Hangers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relatesfto improvements in radiator hangers having for m1 object to provide means for adjustably supporting wall radiators or the like and so construct this supporting means as to eliminate unnecessary parts and consequently materially reduce the cost of manufacture and marketing.

It is likewise an object to provide a radiator hanger which will facilitate vertical and lateral adjustment of a wall radiator and consequently speed up installation.

Other objects will be in part obvious and in part pointed out hereinafter.

In order that the invention and its mode of operation may be readily understood by persons skilled in the. art, I have in the accompanying illustrative drawings, and in the following detailed description based thereon set out one possible embodiment of the same.

Figure 1 is an elevation showing the manner in which my improved radiator hanger is applied to use;

Figure 2 is a front elevation of one of the improved hangers, and

Figure 3 is a detail perspective view of portion of one hanger.

In the accompanying drawings throughout which similar characters of reference designate similar parts, my improved radiator hanger is illustrated as comprising a bracket plate 5 which may be formed of wrought iron or the like material and is preferably elongated as shown. To provide for attachment of the bracket plate 5 to a wall upon which a radiator is to be supported I aperture the upper end of said plate for the reception of a bolt or the like attaching device, 6. At a point near the lower end of the bracket plate 5 I direct the metal forming the plate forwardly to form a top wall 7, then downwardly to form a front wall 8, then inwardly in parallel relation with the top wall 7 to form a lower horizontal wall 9 and then again clownwardly to form a foot portion 10 which is in the same plane as the main body portion 5. The upper and lower walls 7 and 9 are provided with vertically alined openings 11 for the reception of a screw bolt 12 whose head. 13 is disposed below the off-set portion formed by the aforementioned walls and is provided with a kerf 14 whose function will be hereinafter apparent. The upper end of the screw bolt 12 extends above the off-set portion and has threaded thereon a nut 15 which is normally held against rotation through being set into a notch 16 formed in an angle'iron member 17 which is riveted or otherwise secured to the front of the bracket plate immediately above the off-set portion.

iVith the structure above specified it is obvious that vertical movement of the bolt with respect to the bracket plate 5 may be attained through inserting the end of a screw driver into the kerfed bolt head and rotating the bolt as is quite obvious. To provide connection between the lower portion of the wall bracket plate and a radiator R, a hook-shaped support or blade 18 is arranged upon the headed end portion of the bolt 12 as shown. This hook-shaped support includes a barrel 19 which encloses the portion of the bolt 12 adjacent its head 13 with the result that upon rotation of said bolt 12 the hook-shaped support 18 will be moved up or down dependent upon the direction of rotation of the bolt.

Connection between the upper end of the bracket plate 5 and the adjacent portion of a radiator is effected through securing to the bracket a horizontally disposed angle iron 20 whose top flange 21 is provided with a longitudinal slot 22 in which is freely mounted the hooked end 23 of a screw bolt 24. The outer end of this screw bolt 24 is adapted to loosely receive a retaining plate 25 which is held in any adjusted position through application of a retaining nut 26 as shown in Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that lateral adjustment is possible due to the formation of the wall radiators since vertical and lateral adjustment is permitted whereby proper positioning of a radiator may be readily effected.

Certain changes in the minor details of construction may be resorted to and such of these changes as may fall Within the scope of the appended claim I consider within the spirit of my invention.

I claim:

A radiator hanger comprising, an elongated bracket plate, a transverse angle iron secured to the upper portion of the bracket, a hook bolt engageable with the angle iron, a retaining plate on the bolt to inter-connect the hanger and a radiator, a forwardly offset portion at the lower end of the bracket plate including a pair of relatively widely spaced horizontal walls having vertically alined bolt holes, a bolt arranged in the holes with its head below the lower end of'the bracket plate, a hook-shaped support arranged below the off-set portion and including a flat sheet metal body, one end of the body being rolled to form a relatively long integral barrel, said barrel being adapted to enclose the lower portion of the bolt and rest on the head, a notched angle iron carried by the bracket plate adjacent the upper wall of the oil'set, and an adjusting nut carried by the upper portion of the bolt and normally held againstrotation by said notched angle iron.

In testimony whereof, I aliix my signature.
